Hi!

I am having problems making a preloader, cause my images are external and they are not detected by my common preloader command.

let me explain better… I open the images by using:

loadMovie(“fundo1024.jpg”,“fundo\_mc”);

and my preloader is like:

bytes\_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());  
bytes\_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());  
getPercent = bytes\_loaded/bytes\_total;  
this.caixa2.loadBar.\_width = getPercent_128;  
this.caixa2.loadText = Math.round(getPercent_100)+"%";  
if (bytes\_loaded == bytes\_total) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(3);  
}

The question is: How can I load these images with the rest of the document, so it can be read too by the preloader?

Very thanks

Alexandre
